Productive summer

I’ve been wanting to improve my Spanish for a while now, but always felt I didn’t have the time. Well I finally got myself into action and signed up for a summer course. It was the perfect way to combine a lovely Spanish holiday in the sun while finally improving my Spanish. The teachers are lovely and super helpful and program has so much to offer around the city that I didn’t feel like I was in school, but just having a very productive perfect summer holiday. Would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to enjoy a great city and leave speaking Spanish!

Studying Spanish at this school has been a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend it to everybody. My Spanish language skills have improved a great deal and in just a few weeks. I am no longer afraid to communicate and write in that language. And not only that- after 25 years of experience as a teacher of English in Croatia myself I thought there was nothing new I could learn regarding teaching methods. But was pleasantly surprised to see how enthusiastic and professional, but at the same time relaxed and easy-going teachers were and have found new motivation and inspiration for my work as well. Thanks once again to the whole staff and am sure to come back soon!!!
